A major art event has selected its recipients for $40,000 in grants.

ArtPrize recently announced the four emerging curators for its fellowship program. The four recipients will work with curators at established ArtPrize institutional venues during this year’s event.

The four winners will help to create the venue exhibitions for ArtPrize Seven and also curate their own exhibit with the help of their mentors. The $40,000 grant will be divided equally among the four recipients to help with the planning and execution of the exhibitions.
